the originator of the story and others to hunt
Il down. we shall get the whole community
talking about what you did do and what you
did not do. and there will be as many scalps
taken as though a band of Modocs had swept
upon helpless village. We have two ears
but only one tongue, physiological sugges-
ton that we ought to hear good deal more
than we tell. Let us join a conspiracy that
we will tell each other all the good and
nothing of the ill, and then there will not be
such awful need of sermons on Solomon's
words: sDiscover not a secret to another.n
Solomon had a very large domestic circle.
In his earlier DAYS he had very confused no.
lions about monogamy and polygamy, and
his mnltitudinous associates in the matri-
monial state kept him too well informed as to
what was going on in Jerusalem. They
gathered up all the privacies of the city and
poured them into his ear, and his family be-
came Eorosis or female debating society
of 700, discussing day after day all the diff
culties between husbands and wives, between
employers and employees, between rulers and
subjects, until Solomon. in my text, deplores
volubility about affairs that do not belong
to us and extols the virtue Of secretiveness.
By the power of a secret divulged, families,
churches. neighborhoods. nations fly apart.
BY the power of secret kept, great charities,
socialities. reformatory movements and
Christian enterprises may be- advanced. Men
are greqarious- cattle in herds, fish in schools.
